Nano-inspired biosensors and their potential applications in plant disease diagnosis
摘要
The agricultural sector has been facing challenges with increasing plant diseases caused by various pathogens, which threaten crop yields and food security. Current detection methods, such as traditional and advanced biotechnological techniques like immunoassays and fluorescence-based assays, are costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. To address these issues, nano-biosensors have emerged as a promising technology for quickly and accurately detecting plant pathogens. This study aims to explore how nanotechnology-based biosensors can diagnose diseases early and improve management strategies. By using nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles, researchers aim to develop biosensors that can detect specific plant pathogens with high sensitivity. These biosensors will be integrated into plant tissues or environmental samples to monitor pathogen presence in real time, allowing for timely interventions and targeted disease control. The engagement of nano-biosensors in agriculture could significantly improve plant disease management, boost crop yields, and support sustainable agriculture.
